The Friends of St Andrew’s Park [ FoSAP] is a group of people who love our beautiful Park and want to actively contribute to its protection, enhancement, and greater biodiversity. Although it has a formal Constitution [which is very helpful in bidding for grants !], a Committee, and four official posts of Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Membership Secretary [which are elected annually], it is a relaxed, friendly group, and new, active members are always welcome.
Additionally, a paddling pool for children is open usually from May Bank Holiday until September. Other facilities on site are toilets, a mobile café and picnic tables. The park has good access for wheelchairs and buggies because of the many paths throughout.
There is no parking on site, but street parking is available. A bus ride from the city centre takes about 20-25 minutes, by car approximately 10 minutes or it is about a 30 minute walk from the promenade.
St Andrews Park is open at all times and is free to enter.
